As far as Simons' car being a factory 427, I think more hype would have been made about it if that were the case at auction, and it wouldn't have pulled such low numbers. Looks like it was a 289 car according to the same post where the other quote was pulled from...

Steve,
I was being an optimist but I think you're right!
All we know for sure is the 67 Ford part seems to be right.
So the cars that fit class are:
3258/320=10.18 390gt/320 67 Fairlane 2dr Post c6
A couple other Fairlanes, then the heaviest under 10.50:
3356/320=10.49 390gt/320 67 Fairlane GTA
3235/320=10.11 390gt/320 67 Mustang Convertible
4203/410=10.25 427/410-4v Big Ford Ranch Wagon
Strangely, the Fairlane adds 57 lb for the C6 but the Big Ford and Mustang dont add any.
